191 Pages/Italian・English Six wins, two pole positions, eight fastest laps, and thirteen podium finishes—these figures are not, in themselves, particularly staggering. In today's Formula 1, there are drivers who have achieved far more impressive statistics.
Yet, Gilles Villeneuve cannot be judged by such metrics alone. After all, there is no way to quantify the sheer "excitement" he generated...
More than thirty years after his death on May 8, 1982, the legend of this diminutive Canadian driver continues to evoke deep emotion. Nicknamed "The Aviator" by Enzo Ferrari, Gilles was the only driver to ever spark a phenomenon known as "Villeneuve Fever." From his "mad flight" at Fuji in 1977 and his maiden victory on home soil in Canada in 1978, through the unforgettable 1979 season and the arduous year that followed, to his dramatic win in Monaco in 1981, the intra-team battle with Didier Pironi at Imola in 1982, and that final "mad flight" at Zolder—this work is packed with unmissable, invaluable content, including previously unseen photos and fragments of a story steeped in legend.
A must-see not only for Villeneuve fans but for all motorsport enthusiasts.
